We learn Python through tutorials, bootcamps, or classes. Syntax here, libraries there. Maybe a few YouTube deep dives and some late-night Stack Overflow scrolling. The resources are endless.
But here’s what many miss: Python isn’t just a language. It’s a living, breathing community. And knowing that changes everything.
In this talk, we’ll look at the part of Python that doesn’t come in a package: its people. You’ll learn what the Python Software Foundation actually does (besides existing), how decisions about the language are made, and why even local meetups in Hong Kong are part of something much bigger.
Whether you’re new to Python, teaching it, or wondering what keeps this language thriving across the world—this talk will give you new ways to connect, contribute, and grow.
Because “Come for the language, stay for the community” isn’t just a feel-good line. It’s Python’s secret sauce. And once you taste it, it’s better than Lee Kum Kee.
